Distinguishing Between Brown Fat and White Fat
White fat is the unhealthy fat stored in our body which can lead to obesity and increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. Factors contributing to excess white fat include lack of exercise, unhealthy eating habits, and consuming more calories than burned. White fat serves as a survival storage, triggered by the brain signaling hunger due to evolution when food was scarce. To combat obesity, exercising and utilizing cold and heat therapy to activate brown fat, which consumes white fat, are recommended over drug usage for weight loss and diabetes prevention.
